Years & Years have dropped a meditative new B-side called "Memo". It will be released with "Desire" on Polydor 23 November.
Following the eclectic dance fusillade of "Desire", this new track markedly more reserved. It's intimate and introspective, skulking in the shadows as opposed to leaping into the limelight. The post-dubstep percussion still provides a healthy backbone to the track, but instead of garage-y hooks, it's crammed with piano motifs and a heartbroken falsetto.
Listen below.
